A number of people have asked about getting their house blessed at Christmas time. It is a venerable custom in many countries and cultures to have the priest bless one's house, or for the family to do it themselves. In different countries, there are different times of year for this tradition.

I have reserved time in my calendar between January 2nd and February 2nd - from New Year's to Candlemas. Then again from Easter to Pentecost, basically the month of April. Call (912) 437-4750 or write fr.bob.nativity@gmail.com if you want to arrange a house blessing.

The U.S. Bishops' Conference has also prepared a ceremony for families, that want to bless their own homes.Blessing of the Home and Household on EpiphanyCLICK HERE
